Bowen-755 may be a match. If so, their children need to be merged as well.
posted on Bowne-20 (merged) by Jennifer (Willis) Papitto
Bowne-20 and Bowen-755 are not ready to be merged because: Believe they are the same, but mother's are different. Same husband and marriage date, same children. Maybe info is being used for both and needs to be untangled.
Bowne-20 and Bowen-755 appear to represent the same person because: Many identical details including name of spouse, date of marriage and date of death
posted by Page Starr
Parents have been changed and they are not the same person. Family members, although some have same names, have different birth and death dates along with different locations. The husband needs to be assigned to one of these women or both if that is what sources say. I believe he is attached to one of these women incorrectly.
